Re: Modified Deloreans

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

After reading your post the impression I got was your mechanic may be
very good at what he does but an automotive engineer HE IS NOT! After
making a new frame and putting an engine in the front you won't have a
Delorean anymore. The whole concept of the car was a rear engine
design. Nothing would be the same after you got done with it. You
might as well strap a jet engine underneath it. You would have to
build a whole new suspension, fuel system, electrical, cooling,
exhaust, EVERYTHING. What you would wind up with would more closly
resemble D-Rex then a Delorean but you could do it. It might be hard
to drive though with all that weight up front and none in the back.
